For their part, Ukrainian air defenses destroyed 56 of the 108 drones launched by Russia during its last night attack, the Kiev military said on Sunday.
The company added that another 49 were “lost to location,” usually due to electronic interference.
Debris from the destroyed drones damaged an unspecified portion of infrastructure as well as apartment buildings and homes, the air force said.
